If my analysis is correct, we (Crows) want Port to win (for once) over the Eagles so we can play Port "away" in the preliminary final should we beat Hawthorn and (presumably) the Kangaroos first! It's well set up for the Crows to make the grand final from eighth, as we wouldn't have to travel to Perth to play the Eagles or to Sydney to play the Swans. If Port DO lose to the Eagles it would make it very difficult. But Port have a very big incentive to win, because losing would mean Port would have to get past both Geelong AND Sydney to make the Grand Final.

Monday TrainingWe conducted a two person zig-zag relay, 12 intervals each x 260m. Participating were Adam, Amanda, Annette, Christopher, Emma, Ewen, Geoff B, Helen, Joel, Kathy, Katie, Ken, Margaret, Maria, Rachelle, Ruth, Sonia, Yelena, and a surprise, Cathy M: welcome back Cathy! Most are over their winter colds, and a talking point was the number of break through runs at the Jogalong on Sunday.
